During the early years of this century, the classic factory system of the industrial revolution evolved rapidly into a new,
identifiable form that would characterize American and world industry for most of the twentieth century. This transformation,
as important for industrial managers, workers, and consumers as the initial creation of the factory, is the subject of Daniel
Nelson's illuminating synthesis, updated and expanded to include the scholarship of the last twenty years. This edition of
Managers and Workers describes the interrelations between technological and organizational innovation, including such familiar
developments as the spread of mass production and the emergence of scientific management, and other developments that were
little known when the first edition of this book appeared, such as the revolution in factory architecture, the changing role
of the foreman, and the spread of personnel work. The volume also incorporates the best scholarship of the 1970s, 1980s, and
1990s, some of it stimulated by Managers and Workers, and includes a new chapter on the role of organized labor in the early-twentieth-century
factory. The focus of the work, however, remains the individual managers and workers who created the twentieth-century factory
system

In this illuminating survey of American labor from the 1820s to the present, Daniel Nelson looks for the reasons why union
activity has ebbed and flowed since the onset of the Industrial Revolution. Rather than simply summarizing other people's
books, Mr. Nelson offers an original and provocative view of the union experience in America

In 1900 the manufacture of rubber products in the United States was concentrated in several hundred small plants around New
York and Boston that employed low-paid immigrant workers with no intervention from unions. By the mid-1930s, thanks to the
automobile and the Depression, production was concentrated in Ohio, the labor force was largely native born and highly paid,
and labor organizations had a decisive influence on the industry. Daniel Nelson tells the story of these changes as a case
study of union growth against a background of critical developments in twentieth-century economic life. The author emphasizes
the years after 1910, when a crucial distinction arose between big, mass-production rubber producers and those that were smaller
and more labor intensive. In the 1930s mass-production workers took the lead in organizing the labor movement, and they dominated
the international union, the United Rubber Workers, until the end of the decade. Professor Nelson discusses not only labor's
triumph over adversity but also the problems that occurred with union victories: the flight of the industry to low-wage communities
in the South and Midwest, internal tensions in the union, and rivalry with the American Federation of Labor. The experiences
of the URW in the late 1930s foreshadowed the longer-term challenges that the labor movement has faced in recent decades.

"Farm and Factory illuminates the importance of the Midwest in U.S. labor history. America's heartland - often overlooked
in studies focusing on other regions, or particular cities or industries - has a distinctive labor history characterized by
the sustained, simultaneous growth of both agriculture and industry. Since the transfer of labor from farm to factory did
not occur in the Midwest until after World War II, industrialists recruited workers elsewhere, especially from Europe and
the American South. The region's relatively underdeveloped service sector - shaped by the presumption that goods were more
desirable than service - ultimately led to agonizing problems of adjustment as agriculture and industry evolved in the late
twentieth century."--Jacket

Laska in the early l950s was one of the world's last great, undeveloped areas. Yet sweeping changes were underway. In l958,
Congress awarded the new state over l00 million acres to promote economic development. In l971, it gave Native groups more
than 40 million acres to settle land claims and facilitate the building of an 800 mile oil pipeline. Spurred by the newly
militant environmental movement, it also began to consider the preservation of Alaska's magnificent scenery and wildlife.
Northern Landscapes is the first comprehensive examination of the campaign to preserve wild Alaska through the creation of
a vast system of parks and wildlife refuges. Drawing on archival sources and interviews, Daniel Nelson traces disputes over
resources alongside the politics of the Alaska statehood movement. He provides in depth coverage of the growth of Alaskan
environmental organizations, their partnerships with national groups, and their participation in political campaigns into
the l970s. Engagingly written, Northern Landscapes focuses on the activism that led to the passage of the Alaska National
Interest Lands Conservation Act, ANILCA, of 1980, which set aside more than l00 million acres, doubling the size of the national
park and wildlife refuge systems, and tripling the size of the wilderness preservation system. Arguably the single greatest
triumph of environmentalism, ANILCA also set the stage for continuing battles over the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and
Alaska's national forests

The first and only biography of one of America's greatest conservationists -- Akron native and former U.S. Representative
John F. Seiberling (1918-2008) grew up on his family's estate overlooking Ohio's Cuyahoga River Valley. Within his lifetime,
Seiberling would become a leading player in the movement to protect the natural environment and help transform his childhood
playground into the federally protected Cuyahoga Valley National Park. A Passion for the Land begins with a fast-moving narrative
of Seiberling's early life and a vivid description of the physical environment that stimulated his lifelong interests in nature
and wilderness. Author Daniel Nelson provides a detailed examination of the congressman's role as a dedicated environmentalist,
covering Seiberling's efforts to pass path-breaking legislation during the 1970s and the equally important period of defensive
activity during the 1980s. Seiberling's successful bipartisan campaign to protect the Cuyahoga Valley became a stepping-stone
to other important conservation efforts. Working with like-minded legislators and activists in the expanding environmental
movement, he used his increasingly influential position in Congress as chair of the House Subcommittee on Public Lands to
foster urban parks, transform Alaska, and make wilderness protection a hallmark of the new approach to public lands management.
The result was the creation of 100 million acres of parks and refuges in Alaska and millions of acres of protected wilderness
in national forests. Based largely on unpublished correspondence and other previously unused materials, A Passion for the
Land concludes with a review of Seiberling's ongoing involvement in environmental affairs following his decision to retire
from Congress in 1987
